Who makes up your magic combo?

Personally I send everyone who has the task on it and then match the time to eveyone else so everyone finishes at the same time. So currently I have about 6 people 'milking a cow' for 6 hours and everyone else who has a 6 hour task is doing there respective 6 hour task (or 4 hours if they dont, then the hour ones) that way when the next task is revealed I have eveyone at my disposal.

But then I currently have the time to do this!!

Cletus: Dimwit, *
Comic Book Guy: Brainiac, Glutton, Entrepreneur, Pessimist

I myself keep the following ppl free:
Ned: Saint, Senior
Burns: Entrepeneur, Senior, High Roller
Krusty: Celebrety (the only one i have right now), Entrepeneur, Cook (misspelling intended)
ComicBookGuy: Brainiac, Glutton, Entrepeneur, Cook, Pessimist
Lisa/Martin: Youngster, Brainiac
Cletus: Dimwit, Cook

The problem with your list is that it lacks a woman, which is one of the categories. If you replace Brockman with Wolfcastle, you keep Celebrity and High Roller, and also get Dimwit so you no longer need Cletus. You lose Senior and still need Woman, so add Agnes in place of Cletus and you're all set.

In my main town, where I have tons of cash and don't need it, this.

In my second town, where I still need cash, I just set up everyone on same-length tasks.

I do the same thing since I don't mind missing out on some money generated from tasks if it will make it easier/faster for me to find the character that just completed Number 1's tasks and to send someone else to do the next one.

I forget where I saw the list I'm using. Props to the person who came up with it. Warning: I have not check that it's right! I plan to do that today. I'm tired from the late nights.

Oh yeah, not that it should matter, but some of these are people you need to send on a parchment task. Those tasks accumulate, which is why it should not matter.

I keep everyone free except at night...I'm too lazy to think about it with my brain.....it's overheating.

i just try to time all of everyone's task so that there complete at around the same time. so once i get the riddle, everyone is free and i get to solving it, sometimes just by going through the each character to see if a new task was added to their task menu (if i can't figure out the answer based on my Simpsons knowledge). not the best strategy, but works fine for me and i'm over 14,000 emblems so far.

Ive been cycling 12 hrs at noon and midnight. If i need someone for a task, i store them to free them up and then retask them. Seems easier to me.

In the morning I keep everyone free until I get the parchment puzzle.

For Number 1's Tasks I keep the characters from the first 20 levels free which covers all the group at least once.

For the parchment I send the required character on the task the day/night before the riddle unlocks so when I wake up its automatically completed
